The foundation of CUSP had stood strong with never compromising attitude towards the quality treatment of our patients. We, here at CUSP are undeniably keeping the health of our patients as the most important goal of all our services. All the surgeons here are dedicated passionately towards providing healthier growth to their patients. The same spirit is reflected by one of our departments which offer the most effective range of surgical precision for treating fistula.
Surgical intervention for treating fistula is regarded as one of the best approaches to alleviate the symptoms and to provide quick recovery to a patient. Here, at CUSP, we follow world-class standard practices for Fistula Surgery. We make sure that our patients are getting a comprehensive treatment with proper conclusion of the pre-operative assessment, surgery, post-operative care, and rehabilitation program. We have answered some of the Frequently Asked Questions to provide the details about Fistula Surgery.
Unlike the normal fistulotomy, in which after removing the fistula, the sides of the affected tract are stitched back. In fistulotomy for a complicated fistula, the approach is slightly different. In the latter cases, the surgeons only open that particular section of the tract where the joint is present whereas the remaining portions are removed.
Not all the time is fistulotomy performed in one single step. The steps of fistulotomy have to be based upon the diagnosis of the entire path of fistula. If it is diagnosed, the surgery can be completed in one go otherwise another round of surgical intervention is required.
In this procedure the sphincter muscle is not damaged further.
Fistula probe and anoscope are some common instruments used to evaluate fistulas. Since some symptoms of fistula are common with other diseases and disorders, flexible sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy are preferred in this matter along with the usual diagnostic assessment. In any complicated case, MRI tests, fistulotography, and diluted methylene blue dye are considered for the examination of the fistulas.
Yes, there is a minimally invasive surgery for this and it is one of the most effective approaches in this case. Through minimally invasive surgery, the patient is benefited with a very low risk of postoperative complications and high chances of a quick recovery are also great.
In minimally invasive surgery, the patient is firstly administered with anaesthesia. To avoid the allergic reactions of anaesthesia, a pre-anaesthetic assessment is carried out as part of the diagnostic assessment. After the patient is under the influence of anaesthesia, the internal opening of fistula is evaluated with an endoscope. Then, with the help of a stapler, that opening is closed. It is followed by destroying the total path with respect to the fistula by the process of electrocautery. Throughout this step, a direct telescopic vision is maintained.
Here, at CUSP, our surgeons are strategically trained to deal with the most complex situations. We offer an integration of medical services to guarantee a healthy progression in our patients’ lives. All the process related to Fistula Surgery including the diagnostic assessment, surgical interventions, and the program for recovery is supervised by experienced professionals to avoid any possible risk.
It is critical to profoundly understand what really matters to patients when it comes to disease management and treatment expectations.
